Scientific theory evolves. Think how many "theories", which were tightly held by "a vast majority of" scientists, were later disproved. I find it presumptuous to believe we have all the evidence to answer this question - so as the issue isn't even debatable.

What will we discover in the next 1,000 years? What further evidence & knowledge will be gained? Will it make what we know now seem irrelevant?
